Private College Tuition Covered in Full by the Post-9/11 GI Bill®

Tuition and fees here fall within the annual Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefit, so eligible veterans typically owe nothing toward tuition at NOBTS.

Yellow Ribbon Program Status Not Reported

NOBTS is not listed as a Yellow Ribbon participant in current federal reporting. Contact the veteran services office to confirm whether any programs offer Yellow Ribbon matching.

Per-Credit Fees and the Active-Duty Tuition Assistance Cap

DoD Tuition Assistance pays up to $250 per credit hour for active-duty students; here is how the per-credit charge at NOBTS compares.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$598
Out-of-state	$598

Your Living Expenses Are Likely Covered

Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at NOBTS.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$17,759
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$2,490/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$19,920
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$2,161

At this school the academic-year housing benefit exceeds typical living costs, so most full-time students come out ahead. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.

Books & Supplies Coverage

With a Post-9/11 book stipend of up to $1,000 per year, the estimated $900 in supply costs at NOBTS, so the stipend covers them in full.
